Beware of people calling you claiming to be EU subsidies advisors for companies. One of the readers of Zaufana Trzecia Strona website was scammed for a sum of approximately PLN 200. The “advisor” has offered his victim help with filling out the application for co-financing from regional operational programs. In the phone conversation the portal’s reader asked the “advisor” to send additional information via e-mail.

However, instead of an e-mail he received a cash on delivery shipment. Victim’s relatives in good faith have paid for the package which contained a book and a CD with information that can be downloaded for free from the website of the local Marshal Office. In addition, the attached materials were already out of date.

The package was accompanied by a return instruction which the reader of the website did not fail to use. However, almost nearly six months he has yet to receive a refund.

Zaufana Trzecia Strona appeals to other people fooled by such “subsidy” to report their cases to the local law enforcement.
